and so man u won!! a scrappy terrible game, but the luck was with the winner and that's all that matters - the 3 points!

enough of prattling on about soccer now, let's talk about something else!

there have been christmas decorations aplenty in the hospitals, mostly along the offices. NONE in the wards, where i would assume the people who need them the most would want them?

so much for spreading goodwill and cheer this season eh. apparently office staff can be bothered to pretty up their offices (is there some competition?) but not the wards. the sick and ill don't need cheering, i guess.

but the good thing is that volunteers have been popping by to say hi and sing, and it makes me happy to see small kids smiling toothily away!

a fact: i love kids too much to do paeds. and also: i don't possess enough brains to do paeds.

anaesthesia's coming to an end, can't say i've enjoyed it much. but it's been lovely sitting in the ORs - i love nothing more than seeing surgeries! scrubbing in is even better - but my complete lack of anatomy gives me away. ORs are FREEZING, by the way - are surgeons all very fat and thus well-insulated? NO. so why so cold? i have no idea, honestly. i spend the last 2 weeks freezing my arse off!

we had a patient stimulation earlier this week, in which we were individually brought to a dummy and given an emergency scenario where we had to rescue the patient - i managed to rescue mine! although, on hind sight, i should have done alot more things, but at least i managed to keep him alive till the end of the scenario. i have to admit, i spent more time staring at the monitor chewing my nails and wondering what the hell i should be doing next to increase his blood pressure and slow his heart rate! basic physiology - ALL forgotten. sigh.

OKAY: so the World Junior's Hockey Tournament starts on Boxing Day. SO FREAKING EXCITED!!! We (meaning Canada) are going to beat everyone (meaning all those European teams and the USA team) SOUNDLY! so excited. ohmigosh. (I understand how it is with the fanatic football-ism (?). It sucks when it's not a nice win, but it's a win nonetheless :P)

Hey if you're on Facebook, here's another distraction for you: you can join my group! It's called the 0.7% challenge and it's for people who want to commit to donating 0.7% of their income to a charitable organization in the next year (in the spirit of the 0.7% target for aid set by the United Nations for wealthier nations.)
